UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told a representative from Sky News on Wednesday that he did not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group.
Asked about the feasibility of Israel’s military goal to eliminate Hamas and disallow the terrorist group from having any governing say in Gaza, Griffiths responded “Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, as you know, it is a political movement. But, I think it is very very difficult to dislodge these groups without a negotiated solution; which includes their aspirations.
“I cannot think of an example offhand of a place where a victory through warfare has succeeded against a well-entrenched group, terrorist or otherwise.”
I don’t remember the ANC being funded by a fundamentalist theocratic regime.
Also, you think I support Israel when I literally said they found an excuse to wipe out the people of Gaza?
Or did you just not read my post very carefully?
Hamas is very moderate compared to groups like ISIS or israel.
There’s Christians living in Gaza being killed by israel not Hamas.
Hamas doesn’t try to create a “Muslim only state” like Zionists do for their Apartheid.
Is it a contest?
No this is you not being informed and consuming too much propaganda.
Saying Hamas needs to disappear is equally as unproductive as saying israel needs to disappear.
And israel is by far the worse of these two groups.
When did I say Hamas needs to disappear or that Israel needs to disappear? Please quote me.
You said it was an excuse to wipe out Gaza in your first comment.
But factually It is not an excuse. Because negotiations with them are very possible. Hamas has very high credibilty on their promises (which people here don’t like to hear)
In other words, I never said that Hamas needs to disappear.
You think Gaza = Hamas?
Because it doesn’t.
What I said was that Netanyahu wants to wipe out Gaza (and The West Bank.) Hamas was how he found an excuse to do it. I mean this isn’t a secret. Even some Israelis admit it.
So maybe don’t accuse me of supporting Israel when you imply that everyone in Gaza is Hamas.
Okay so do you believe that Hamas needs to disappear for peace to be achieved or not?
What peace? Israel doesn’t want peace. They want to completely wipe out Palestine. You don’t conduct a genocide and just agree to stop.
Also, why are you asking me if I believe that now when you already accused me (falsely) of saying it? You could, at the very least, acknowledge that what you said about me wasn’t true.
